Black History Month is a yearly celebration of Black people’s achievements and contributions to society. Founded by Carter G. Wilson in 1976, what began as “Negro History Week” has blossomed into a full on annual commemoration… during the shortest month of the year. Since 2011, I have published an annual Black History Month Article. It has... Read more »

As you might know from the pro-black memes that start circulating every year on February 1st, Black History Month was founded by Carter G Woodson in 1926. The month of February was selected for this celebration of Black history in honor of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, who were both born in that month. (Feel free to... Read more »

I published this article about a week ago, but I took it down after only one day. I did that because in this story I talk about the man I love cheating on me, emotionally abusing me, giving me an STD while I was pregnant, me growing to hate myself… Literally every embarrassment a woman...

I have a pretty sweet life. I do music and art for a living , I travel whenever I want, and have never had to work a day job. I had a pretty rocky childhood but I got through it and made a cool little life for myself. So when I experienced a trauma last... Read more »

It presents a rare opportunity for my friends of different ethnicities (particularly the White ones) to shut up and focus on the greatness of MY heritage for a change. For the past 5 years, I...

In spite of me being a totally cool rebellious musician, I have never smoked weed in my entire life. But the recently departed Sandra Bland did, and apparently CNN thought it was big news. Such big news, in fact, that they reported on the fact that marijuana was in Sandra’s system at the time of... Read more »

If you read my last article entitled “I told the truth about Black Love and Facebook banned me for 30 Days,” then you already know that I am currently in the midst of a month long shunning from Facebook. When they decided in the past to ban me over petty stuff, I ain’t really sweat... Read more »

I get banned from Facebook a lot. My first ban was way back during the era when FB was banning everyone for posting memes with celebrities in them (because of copyright infringement or whatevs.) That ban lasted a day. The next was over something equally as petty and it lasted a bit longer. Then I... Read more »

I consider myself to be a pretty talented person. I sing & rap, produce my own music, and write songs for a living. I also draw, paint, sculpt, cook, and I can groom some dreadlocks like nobody’s business. However, there is one ability I have that pulls it all together, signifies my outlook on life,...

You've heard my work, you just didn't know it was me. I sing/rap/write/produce and tv shows, commercials, and video games play my songs. I'm the opinionated and mouthy leader of Team Bad Ass who means what she says and says what she means. I'm random. I think outside the box. I have no shame. Please enjoy the show.
